I just wrote this as a response to someone else's post but I want to say it here too! (edited) ⬇️
My grumpy post about the Guardian article isn't anti-weight-loss-efforts, btw. Just grumpiness at the media spending endless hours and words on scrutinizing bodies, which helps no one, and makes everything about being in a body, so much worse. In a fat body? Much, MUCH worse.
I actually wish we had MORE social support for laid back, curious, chill weight loss endeavors. It shouldn't have to be a big deal either way.
I avoid talking about losing weight because of so much past experience with people completely freaking out. "Oh you want to lose weight? Thanks for being a part of the problem! UNFOLLOW!" Literally, this has happened. I'm not anti-feminist because I feel too heavy and wish to be a little lighter.
Not that I am doing much right now. MCAS and chronic illness make it very hard to lose weight. But I do wish I could talk about that more.
Happy Hollieween 🎃
